"How much money can you make from wine and glass in a year? You dare to ask me for more than 300 million strings of cash?" Zhao Zhen frowned as he looked at Jin Shuai, his eyes filled with dissatisfaction and doubt.

Jin Shuai's lips curled up slightly, revealing a confident smile, and he said softly, "Your Majesty, the way to sell this wine and glass is different from usual. If we sell them as ordinary goods, it will be difficult to recover the cost. But with careful packaging, we estimate that we can break even and make a profit after selling them only two or three times."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Zhen's doubts deepened, and he couldn't help but ask curiously, "What do you mean by packaging? Does this really make these items so valuable? And how is it possible to earn more than 300 million strings of cash by selling them only two or three times?" He was full of skepticism about Jin Shuai's words.

A sly glint flashed in Jin Shuai's eyes. He smiled without saying a word, but replied mysteriously, "Your Majesty, you don't need to worry about the specifics. You and the Empress can simply go and watch. You only need to write a few words, and I'll handle the rest. Just wait to collect your money." With that, a smug smile returned to his face.

Seeing that Jin Shuai was unwilling to reveal more details, Zhao Zhen had his doubts, but decided to trust him this once. So he asked, "You little rascal, you've got a clever plan. But these conditions aren't too harsh on me, so I'll agree. But you have to guarantee that the annual profit won't be too low, or I'll hold you accountable."

"No problem, Your Majesty. Rest assured, as long as there is enough time and resources, money will definitely not be an issue," Jin Shuai replied confidently.

Zhao Zhen nodded, indicating his satisfaction.

Jin Shuai quickly replied, "Your Majesty, please rest assured, you will definitely receive the first payment within a month. However, to ensure everything goes smoothly, shall we sign a contract?"

Afterwards, Jin Shuai signed two more contracts with Zhao Zhen. After completing them, he nodded in satisfaction and left Funing Palace with a smile.

After General Jin left, Zhao Zhen turned to Empress Cao beside him, sighed helplessly, and said, "Dan Shu, what do you think of this boy..."

"I don't quite understand him. Although his behavior is strange, his style of handling things shows that he is very experienced, which is beyond what someone his age could have," Empress Cao said with a smile.

Zhao Zhen nodded slightly, pondered for a moment, and said, "Last time I ordered someone to investigate him. After falling into the water in Yangzhou, he became strange. He ruined the marriage between the Yuan and Sheng families and even made Yuan's eldest son write an IOU for 1,200 strings of cash. The prefect of Yangzhou vaguely mentioned that a celestial being had given him directions, but dared not say more. It seems that this lad has had a miraculous encounter. Alas! Could it be..." At this point, Zhao Zhen frowned slightly, as if he had thought of a certain possibility.

Empress Cao smiled slightly and gently comforted him, "Your Majesty, there is no need to worry. His way of doing things is different from ordinary people, but isn't everything he does in order to relieve your worries in a roundabout way? I think Your Majesty doesn't need to interfere with his actions. He may seem to be gaining all the benefits, but in fact, the biggest beneficiaries are Your Majesty and the Great Song Dynasty."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Zhen smiled slightly and said slowly, "Yes, the Empress is quite right. He is indeed somewhat different from others, but he is not without restraint. Let's see just how far he can go." As he finished speaking, a hint of anticipation flashed in Zhao Zhen's eyes.

"Yes, Your Majesty understands. Then I'll join you in seeing just how much trouble he can cause," Empress Cao replied with a smile.
